A new concrete church has since been constructed on the
Epistle side of the ruins with the new facade facing west perpendicular to the apse of the old church.
We learned to move our dolls about the altar, to the
Epistle side, to the Gospel side, bow in the center.
For the funeral of Philip II, held on 18-19 October 1598, they were positioned at the entrance to the first chapel on the
epistle side, as can be seen from the plan included by Jean Lhermite in his Passetemps (Illus.4),(20) where M marks the |lieu des chantres'.
At the
epistle side of Roman Catholic Church of Dimiao (your right side if you are facing the church facade) are coral stone edifices and a walled cemetery that locals refer to as "Ermita." A few meters north of the
epistle side of the Roman Catholic Church of Guindulman lies the remains of what must have been a three-level coral stone belfry and the walls of an earlier church.
Cemeteries prior to that order are normally located on either the Gospel and
Epistle sides as well as the back of the church.
